Hi and Welcome!

No, not everyone here has been banded. There are many like you that are still in the decision making process, many waiting for insurance approval, others working through financing and many others going through the pre-op process.

I have been banded for 8 months and I have absolutely no regrets. If you have any specific questions, feel free to ask.

Hi My name is Charlotte. I live in Central Oklahoma and just had my lap band done in Detroit, MI. No one in the state

takes Medicare Insurance except for Detroit, MI. It has been a little hard for the plane rides and making arrangements but I don't think I'll ever be sorry I did this.

Tried everything and nothing worked so now I have taken the first step in the rest of my life.

Please follow up with any questions.

Charlotte

You may get more responses if you post to all members rather than just those in Minnesota.

You could post in say the pre-op category: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f84/ or the General category: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f17/
